    9-3 Arc

    Help with my SAAB 9.3 - Wheel Bearings ?

    Rear wheel grinding issue:
    I have a 2003 SAAB 9-3 ARC with a pretty bad grinding noise from the right rear wheel as well as break squeal. From what I've gathered the grinding is a bad wheel bearing. I have no experience with replacing it and would appreciate any help, instruction or diagrams available. I have time to do the work myself & just need some guidance. I'm pretty mechanically inclined, being a jet engine mechanic for 12 yrs in the military.

    Acceleration issue:
    I also have some shaking or vibration beginning at the top end of the turbo boost range, if accelerating quickly. If I keep the acceleration at a reasonable rate and don't let the turbo fully engage then it doesn't occur. Any idea what this is and what I can do to fix it?

    Thank you,
    mmc

    The rear wheel grinding issue: The bearing is an integrated part of the hub, and replaced as such, OEM P/N being 93 170 611. A rear wheel hub replacement procedure: http://saabworld.net/downloads/rear-33/wheel-hub-99/

    The acceleration issue: No idea, sorry.
